Chapter 54: Chaos

"Let me explain. Landoria sighed lightly, looking at Teressa's incoherent appearance under excitement, she knew that with this girl's current state, she couldn't tell Liu Li the whole thing, so she took over the topic and began to tell Liu Li what happened. Through Landolia's narration, Liu Li only then knew what happened in Elleno City during the time she was away.

Long before Liu Li went to the swamp, Landolia left a spiritual imprint on him, so that she could sense Liu Li's state at any time and rescue him in time when he was in danger. It was also when Liu Li faced off with the "masked" marksman and her life was in crisis, that the spiritual imprint left by Landolia was sensed for the first time, but something happened to Elleno at that time that she really couldn't get out, so Liu Li experienced death again.

The war between the Kronos Empire and the Western Baier Empire is about to ignite, but before the war begins, both countries will secretly make some small moves, and the Baier Empire has set its target on the city of Eleno this time. They sent more than a dozen squads, each of which was composed of about ten people, all of whom were composed of formal warriors and spellcasters, in order to take advantage of the fact that some of the spellcasters in Eleno City went to the west, and during the period of internal emptiness, they kidnapped some of the noble heirs who studied here, so that those nobles who had decision-making power in the Kronos Empire could not play their full strength after the war.

When Wells left before, Liu Li had also noticed that there were not a few spellcasters who left through the teleportation array, and they, like Wells, were going to the western front. Originally, the Imperial Royal Mage Association had already made a decision to add a group of spellcasters to Eleno City in the near future, firstly to take over the teaching work of those who had left, and secondly, to protect the safety of the students. Perhaps the additional batch of spellcasters is a little lacking in rank compared to the one that went to the front line, but the rich combat experience is also enough to be competent for the security work of Elleno City. But I don't know where the news of this personnel transfer was leaked, and the Bayer Empire detected it in advance and made corresponding deployments.

It is clear that the enemy seized on the negligence of the empire, and they succeeded. Initially, there was news of the mysterious disappearance of aristocratic students in the academy, but it did not attract enough attention from the top management. The aristocracy generally lived a relatively affluent life, and most of them did not pay much attention to the practice of magic. The student who disappeared at the beginning usually had a problematic style, and his mentor only thought that he was running around again, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Just when the mentor finally sensed that something was wrong, the incident erupted. Within a day, the number of missing noble students in the academy rose to twenty-two, and then intensified over the next two days, with a total of seventy-one noble students missing in three days. All the tutors in the entire academy, including Landolia, the "idle" vice dean, were overwhelmed by this unexpected incident.

The first time Landolia's spiritual imprint on Liu Li's body reacted was when she had just grabbed the enemy's tail and rushed over with her mentor. Of course, she couldn't just leave like this, so she could only suppress the anxiety in her heart and deal with the disappearance of the student first. Fortunately, the connection with the imprint was only broken for about half an hour, and then it became stable again, if Liu Li really had any accidents, it would not be surprising that she would directly bombard Sin City later.

When the whole incident gradually subsided, the Bayer Empire lost a total of 32 spellcasters, including 1 high-level, 11 middle-rank, and 20 beginner-level spellcasters, and the loss of warriors was more than 100. In the end, the academy only rescued thirty-four students, and found the bodies of four students, but Wendy was not among them, and she was missing, like other students who had not yet been found. And the enemy also stopped all movements under this blow and disappeared. All they knew now was that they hadn't teleported away, and the Academy's mage tower's monitoring magic hadn't shown any hints of teleportation spell fluctuations. As the largest magic academy in the empire, the monitoring circles in the mage towers were enough to detect the spell fluctuations in the surrounding cities, and the spell fluctuations generated by teleportation magic were so violent that they naturally couldn't be covered up so easily.

Perhaps because the losses were too severe, the spies of the Bayer Empire stopped all their movements after the blow, and the Alenor side could no longer find any clues, so they could only send a search team composed of mentors and senior students, plus some city guards, to search for every suspicious place in the city. And Landolia, who had dealt with some of the more important finishing work, finally found time to go to the swamp and happened to rescue Liu Li and his party.

The current situation is that the countless search teams sent by the academy have been looking for clues left by the enemy day and night but have found nothing, Teresa who has been waiting for a long time without exact news finally can't help but come to Landolia's villa, she knows that the owner of the villa is Liu Li's teacher, and wants to rely on the relationship with Liu Li to let this high-level mage help more and find her own young lady. But I didn't expect to meet Liu Li, who came back from completing the task and was successfully promoted, and became so out of shape under excitement.

"Rando teacher ......" calmed the excited Teresa, Liu Li turned his head to look at his teacher, he knew that since Landolia transferred him here through the black hole, he must have made a decision in his heart, so he did not continue, but held back the anxiety in his heart and waited for the teacher's order.

"Liu Li, you take Syla, Tina and this ...... Well, Miss Teresa goes to the small town of Tulum in the northwest. I'm not sure if it's the Bayer's feet or if they're suspicious, but it never hurts to investigate. The spiritual imprint left on you will not dissipate for the time being, if there is any situation, don't act rashly, and contact me through the imprint first. Speaking of this, Landolia seemed to remember something again, and paused before continuing: "By the way, you can go to Kuhn first, I remember that he has a student from Tulum Town, not his city guards, but his 'student'. ”

Hearing Landolia emphasize the word "student" so much, Liu Li knew in his heart that Kuhn's student must be a martial artist, but he was puzzled by Landolia letting the squirrel go with him, this mission had to face regular fighters, and it seemed that it was not enough to face such an enemy with the strength of a squirrel. "Teacher, wouldn't it be dangerous for the squirrels to go along?"

"Your little squirrel...... Maybe it won't help you in battle, but what about other things......" Landolia's smile was very strange, as if she had expected Liu Li to ask this question, "Do you know what Kevin did before he inherited the title?"

Liu Li knew that Landolia and the squirrel's father, Kevin Locke, had known each other for a long time, so she didn't interject, just quietly waited for her teacher to continue.

"Kevin was a legend before he succeeded to the throne of the Grand Duke. There's an organization called 'Shadow' over there, which is responsible for taking on some shady tasks such as spying on intelligence, assassination, and searching for people, and Kevin is one of the best among them, and was even nominated as one of the candidates for the leader of the organization. If it weren't for the fact that Archduke Locke only had such a son, he would still be in the organization and would have sat in the position of leader. Landolia didn't say anything more, she didn't say that behind the Shadow organization stood the royal family of the Secret Empire, that is, her own family.

The nobles of the Secret Word Empire knew that there were not a few people who existed in the "Shadow" organization, but few people knew that this organization was loyal to the imperial family, and those who knew the inside story certainly did not dare to go around saying it. Kevin's joining the organization was actually just an accident, when he hid his identity and went out on an adventure, he learned of the existence of this organization by coincidence, and immediately had the idea of joining, until he passed the assessment and conducted an identity review that it was found out that he was the only son of Archduke Locke.

"Listening to your account of Hisaia's performance in the swamp, it's clear that you've got a true biography of her father, and I've checked with her these days. Maybe she's just not as good as she can do in terms of combat skills, but when it comes to finding out the news, it is estimated that the few of you together can't catch up with her. Landolia was afraid that Liu Li would not be at ease, but she could see her student's affection for the little squirrel, so she added, "And Sisaia's talent is no worse than your 'Talent Omniscience'." ”

Hearing Landolia say this, Liu Li looked confused, and couldn't imagine that the cute little squirrel had such a ferocious ability in addition to finding nuts. And what is that talent comparable to his "natural omniscience", Liu Li can't help but have a trace of curiosity in his heart.

"Curious, so go back and ask her yourself. ”

"yes, you can go back and ask me. A crisp voice came from behind him, startling Liu Li.

With Liu Li's powerful perception, he didn't notice when the squirrel came behind him, of course, this was also because Liu Li didn't turn on the "omniscient" state in a safe environment. More surprised than Liu Li was Teresa sitting opposite him, she only felt that there was an extra person behind Liu Li in front of her eyes. She didn't even know if this person had appeared out of nowhere, or if she had been standing there for a long time and had been ignored by herself.

"Well, but there are still some small problems to deal with, Liu Li, you can go to Kuhn's side first. Come with me, Hisaia, I'll have to figure out how to deal with your horns and tail. ”

"That...... Mr. Lando. Liu Li hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak: "Don't talk about the horn first, can you not deal with the tail...... " The sentence provoked the squirrel's teeth and claws and Landolia's helplessness.

"How could Wells teach such a student as you......" Landolia held her forehead with one hand, and with a flick of her other hand, Liu Li was "eaten" by a black hole. The last thing he heard in his ears was Landolia's grumpy roar: "Don't get out of here yet!"

Teresa looked at the state of several people, and the anxiety in her heart was somewhat relieved. She knew that Liu Li wanted to relax herself a little in this way, but she didn't express the gratitude in her heart. There are some things, it is good to know them in my heart.
